Without knowing exactly the options you have on it, I checked on Kelley BB generally and it looks like Fair is $28K, and Excellent is around $32K. I see you have some nice rims, spoilers, etc, so it may be a bit more. The problem you'll likely face is the fact that new ones are so tempting right now for most buyers given the latest deals out there.

You could probably get a used '04 E55 with 30K miles for around $60K, depending on the options you desire. Good luck!

There's a world of difference between an E500 and an E55 ....

Pursue it.

Your 03

I have an 07 Saks 5th Avenue E. The Saks is a good looking car and I believe an AMG is even a better looking car but I must say that your 03 really has a WOW look to it! I would keep it unless your looking for more speed. You probably get a lot of nice comments on your 03. I really like the one you have now!

Once you go AMG you never go back to a regular benz.

The second you step on the throttle you will know what you've been missing out on.

i'll say it again, you have the nicest looking W211 (AMG or not) I've ever seen!!!! there are others on here that I also drool over, but there is something about your ride that makes me green with envy!!! If you do get the AMG, please make it look exactly like your current W211!!!

Your car really is beautiful, but due to the model year and current used market for Mercedes you won't get much over 30k for it. Personally I would keep it instead of give someone else that car for such a steal.

Thats one sick W211.... Looks almost like an E55. You must have dumped alot of $$ into that car...I'd try to find the perfect buyer... and there are alot of 04-05 E55 for sale. You can definately find one 15k miles for under 60k..... I have seen a few.... Again sick W211... Definately the nices I have seen outside the AMG realm....

I agree once you have an AMG, it's all OVER. Howver, your w211 is very nice and clean, I got a chance to see it at MBWORLD meet. Nicely done.

Make the switch and you will NOT regret it.
